I love the Holiday Farmers’ Market and I’d been looking forward to yesterday for a long time. Did you miss out? Don’t worry, there are markets again on Saturday, December 17 in Williamstown and Great Barrington. They’re a great place to finish up your Christmas shopping (as of yesterday, mine is done!) and meet local [...]
So I have this sister, Ryn Ryn and I on my 2009 wedding day She is an artist. She loves printmaking, but she’s also really great at drawing and watercolor. Clearly, she got all of the art genes. Ryn with her senior art thesis and, since she graduated from college last spring, she has turned [...]
Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that not everyone lives (or cooks, or eats) like I do. Last week, I went out to lunch with Cynthia. During the course of our conversation, she mentioned to me that she wished she was as good at menu planning as I am. The comment surprised me, [...]
Brian and I are on a much needed break from school this week. We decided to stick close to home and do some day trips, instead of spending our whole vacation traveling. Ever since I discovered how close Brian lived to the Vermont border, I’ve had plans to go to Ben and Jerry’s. Granted, Ben [...]
Every Saturday I highlight items from my Reader to share with the readers of Relishments. Enjoy! Highlights for January 24-30 I’m a self-professed tea addict. With the weather as cold as it’s been, my interest in warm beverages is on the increase. I know some of my readers love coffee and tea as much as [...]

My Christmas shopping was done almost a month ago (!), but in the event that you haven’t finished yours yet, I’ve put together a list of the 10 gadgets and tools in my kitchen that I love the most. If none of my favs strike your fancy, check out the links to gift guides at [...]
Autumn is absolutely, hands down, my favorite season of the year. I love the weather, the leaves changing colors, the start of school (really, I do), apples, pumpkins, cider, Thanksgiving… My in-laws came up to visit yesterday and Brian and I decided we should check out The Apple Barn and Country Bakeshop in Bennington, Vermont. It’d [...]
Brian and I spent most of our time in Philly in the Old City. We did a ton of walking in that area alone. However, I couldn’t quite resist making the hike to Center City to see Reading Terminal Market. How could I forgo checking out “the best, freshest and liveliest public market since 1893″? [...]
To address any concern you may have had, I have not fallen off the face of the earth. I got married (though I’m sure in the minds of some people, those events are equivalent)!!! At any rate, the ceremony was last Saturday, the only nice day in Maine since forever and we had a wonderful [...]
